Washroom sealing in Church Hill, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and sealant stained black around basins and showers. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Church Hill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. City jobs in Church Hill normally need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Washroom sealing in Church Hill: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Church Hill counts as a coastal location, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Church Hill. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
At a university such as Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus, less than half a mile to the west of Church Hill, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Royal Edinburgh Hospital, 0.5 miles south-west of Church Hill, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points

Questions we are asked in Church Hill
Could you schedule work at a campus like Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Edinburgh Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Why act early in Church Hill
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
